Teacher Tips

After being in school for twelve years there are so many tips that I would give teachers. If I had to pull out my top five these would be it:

1. Make it easy to understand- Don't make your work difficult to understand or to do. Many students will learn better if you just get to the point and tell them what to do without all the fancy directions.

2. Don't be mean- If your students don't feel comfortable around you, then they won't want to get any help from you. Be more of a friend but keep your back bone. Make sure you build a relationship with your students.

3. Don't do all bookwork- Most students don't like bookwork. Make your lesson plans full of fun projects, students learn better with class discussion and projects that will make them remember the lesson.

4. Listen to students- If your students don't like something your doing they will tell you. Make sure you really listen to your students wants and needs. They may even be helpful with your lesson plans.

5. Don't yell- You are not your students parent so don't act like it. Keep your clam in a diffcult situations. If needed pull the student out of the room talk to them about there problem in a calm manner. Most students just want to be listened to. If the problem cannot be solved then take further action by getting there parents involved.

These are my tips to teachers.
